MAPLESDEN o@ca.on.york_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2008-01-03 published
TAILOR/TAYLOR,
Thomas
Laurence
Father, gramps, Dieppe survivor, PoW, humanitarian. Born March 3,
1914, in Calgary. Died June 22 in Ottawa of pneumonia, aged 93.
By Joanne OSBORNE, Virginia
TAILOR/TAYLOR, Tom
TAILOR/TAYLOR and Joann
MAPLESDEN,
Page L8
Tommy was a gentleman - he looked just as distinguished in a
business suit as he did in overalls sitting on a tractor at his
Beaver Valley, Ontario, farm.
Tommy was the second
son of Edmund and Edna
TAILOR/TAYLOR. At 12, he
went to Trinity College School in Port Hope, Ontario In 1929
his father died suddenly; Tommy continued his education with
support from the school and the parents of his roommates.
A natural athlete and leader, he captained hockey, football and
cricket teams. He later became one of the school's life governors
and was the first president of the alumni association he helped
establish.
In May, 1933, Tommy began working for Manufacturers Life Insurance
Co., calculating mortgages by hand. In 1940 he joined The Royal
Regiment of Canada, and in 1942 was shipped to England as a lieutenant
with the Second Division to begin training for Operation Jubilee
- the Dieppe raid.
On August 19, Tommy led his men across the stony beach. Of the
35 men, he was the only one to survive the horrific climb to
the top. He took shrapnel in his leg, and, out of ammunition,
he and a group of artillery men took cover until nightfall and
eventual capture. Tommy endured three years at Oflag VIIB,
a PoW officers camp in Bavaria.
Back in Toronto, Tommy rejoined Manulife. He married Mary Helen
RENNIE and had three children, Joanne, Virginia and Tom. Tommy
was instrumental in expanding Manulife's real-estate portfolio
throughout North America and England. He retired from the company
after 42 years but remained active in the investment field with
McLeod Young Weir Ltd.
The war years had a marked effect on Tommy; he worked through
his demons by helping others. His years of compassionate contribution
to Renascent House helped others who fought alcoholism.
Tommy always had a cheerful greeting for everyone. His later
years were spent in his "beloved Beaver Valley," where he had
an active social life and embraced his seven grandchildren. With
a twinkle in his eye, he endeared himself to people.
After Helen's death in 2001, Tommy was cared for at the Perley
and Rideau Veterans' Health Centre in Ottawa. He passed away
peacefully with his children at his side. His ashes will be taken
to France by his children and scattered on the beach in remembrance
of the fallen war heroes.
Tommy,
Gramps,
Captain
TAILOR/TAYLOR, will forever be our Canadian hero.
He was brave, he suffered, he endured, but most of all he loved
his family, his Friends, his school and his country.
Joanne OSBORNE,
Virginia
TAILOR/TAYLOR and Tom
TAILOR/TAYLOR are Thomas's children,
and Joann MAPLESDEN is his daughter-in-law.
